Temple of the Dark Moon

ah… life… such a wonderful thing. havent we always imagined situations… situations in which we imagined to laugh about, to joke about…but we ‘know’ deep down, its possibility is practically zero/kosong/zelo/kong/zip/elek/ling/ or whatever language or synonym u can think of. its just so nice to imagine sometimes.

being in kerteh means that one some times have to do the desperate as a means to an end. being as transportless as we are…we naturally have to hitch a hike to wherever we wish to go…and we have no other wishes other than to go to work (see our wish is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo noble). miss sandy, a young and charming lady that happens to work in the same company and stay in the same row of houses (technically speaking me, yin ping, sandy and soon (used to be our ‘favourite’ transport) are living along the same stretch of houses…) is the one we usually ‘car pooled’ (we are doing the environment a favour ok~! but not doing sandy’s wallet any favour cause we don pay in cash…she dowan us to pay la!! not so kiamsiap one… ppl dowan..kenot force lar~~~). but then because she had to work in Kuantan for a few days, we had to find other means to meet our end. so we called Mr Saiful, our colleague… and the time to wait at the designated spot is 7.40am.

so being the punctual person that i am, i suggested we start walking at 7.15 because the place is rather far and i don wanna rush and get all sweaty. its so early cause miss slow poke usually walk very slow. technically speaking u can reach there in 5 mins, but that is when u walk with extreme top speed. u should have seen miss slow poke fast walking for the carpoolympics. it was the day before when we again had to throw ourselves at the mercy of Mr Saiful…the msg came just 10 mins before the we actually start moving our asses. so miss slow poke on that day technically flew with her transformation. usually i will walk and by 5 mins, im roughly about 10 meters away from her and had to wait for her to catch up. but today, walk as fast as i may, miss slow poke…err…kenot us that name for that day… miss fast poke then… was so fast, my distance from her never seemed to change. talk about transformation~!

anyways, as i was saying, i suggested we move our bloody asses by 7.15 but miss ’showing-the-yer-face’ complained it was toooooooooooooooooooooooooo early… it was crazy to wake up so early just to walk there and wait for the car. she suggested 7.30. why? "neh, that day we walk, by 5 mins also reach dy ba…don have to so early one lah~~~" said miss ’showing-the-yer-face’ said. i explained that that day was because we were going at top speed and i don wan to walk so fast because i will all sweaty when i go the office… miss ’showing-the-yer-face’ kept rumbling on and on and on and doing all sorts of gestures that i have absolutely no idea how to put in words..so i finally gave up and decided to let her win since she will never wanna back down even though death is staring at her face anyways. the canton saying ’sei tou ngau fan sang’ (can argue until the dead also come back to life) definitely fits her… talk about unreasonable..

so 7.30 came and went…we were walking relatively slowly this time…i din bother to walk any faster cause miss slow poke is taking over her now…i will have to wait for her anyways. by the time we reach the place, its roughly around 7.46 or something like that. and thats when the phone rang…

miss slow poke: "ha, u dekat bp sana sudah ar?"

phone: "bla bla bla bla"

miss slow poke:"oh oh, ok takpe2 kite pergi sendiri"

then she looks at the phone 7.48 only what..they call 7.46 nia mah…din hear the phone ring also….

so we… erm ..she had to walk around and ask ppl who stop by to buy nasi lemak and newspaper are they heading up and if so can they please car pool us as well cause our friend left and we got no transport to go to work. i just stood by the side and let her do the job. lucky enough we had some kind souls that decided to drive us there. i was sooooooooo wanting to say ‘told u so~~~’ but din say it until lunch time. when i suggested we start moving our asses at 7.20 because i tot she will whine its too early if we move by 7.15… it was now she who suggested that we must move 7.15. haish… wouldnt it be better if she had just listened to my suggestion of 7.15 earlier? why oh why are ppl so lazy to wake up early and wait for the transport that has been so mercifully granted to you by a kind soul? and she give the reason she cant wake up so early because she is sick… ah, i told her being sick is no excuse (tell that to the person drivin the car and i doubt it will make much difference because the person is only interested in ‘don have to wait for you’ kinda passenger)…and the all too familiar ‘roll the eyes’ expression is displayed. ah well, if what i say cant get through that skull of hers, i do not intend to force it either… after all, its only eight months. i do not intend to agitate a delicate soul and make the rest of my stay hellish…

~ppl of nearly the same personality, may not get along too well~ this is what i have learnt so far. why? still trying to find out.
